Well before the end of the American involvement in the Vietnam War, the U. S.Army Center of Military History committed itself to producing a comprehensiveand objective multivolume series of one of our nation's most complicated andcontroversial foreign involvements. To this end Army historians began work on anumber of studies treating our broad advice and assistance effort in Vietnam.Among these is Advice and Support: The Final Years, 1965-1973, the third of threehistorical works that tell the story of the U.S. Army's advisory program in Vietnam.The initial volume deals with the early advisory years between 1941 and1960, and a second, treating the 1961-64 period, is in preparation.In Advice and Support: The Final Years the author describes the U.S. Armyadvisory effort to the South Vietnamese armed forces during the period whenthe U.S. commitment in Southeast Asia was at its peak. The account encompassesa broad spectrum of activities at several levels, from the physically demandingwork of the battalion advisers on the ground to the more sophisticatedundertakings of our senior military officers at the highest echelons of the Americanmilitary assistance command in Saigon. Among critical subjects treated areour command relationships with the South Vietnamese army, our politico-militaryefforts to help reform both the South Vietnamese military and government,and our implementation of the Vietnamization policy inaugurated in 1969. Theresult tells us much about the U.S. Army's role as an agent of national policy in acritical but often neglected arena, and constitutes a major contribution to ourunderstanding of not only the events that occurred in Vietnam but also thedecisions and actions that produced them.
